The church of Christ is a glorious organism, faithful to and successful in its mission despite great persecution, and therefore worthy of full engagement. 

God shows His wisdom to the heavens by uniting Jew & Gentile in Christ and increasing their experience of Christ’s love until they are filled with His fullness - perfected in Christ. 

The wideness of God’s mercy, including even “unclean” Gentiles, should deepen our confidence in and fire a passion for the gospel and its ability to convert, not only our own souls, but the souls of those seemingly farthest away. 

A great victory over our great enemy was accomplished by the greatest King that first Easter morn anticipating final victory at Christ’s return. 

Jesus Christ not only lived a perfect life, He also died a perfect death, the one we needed for our salvation.

The triumphant King has come in humility to bring life to the world, and the King will return in triumph to reign — Prepare to receive your King! 

The spectacular truth that God has chosen to cleanse Gentiles as well as Jews, through faith in Jesus Christ, should call forth from us a response of awestruck praise, deep humility, and impartial evangelism. 

God wants His people to be passionate, not apathetic, and passionate about His Son and His Son’s church, not about other things. 

The conversion of souls and the growth of Christ’s church are proof positive signs that the hope of the resurrection is sure, comforting our hearts in death and strengthening our hearts to persevere in gospel work. 

Jesus Christ himself continues to reveal God’s glory through the polarizing witness of his church.
